Well nothing is unbreakable, but the more variety of characters you use the less likely it will be broken but is will take far too long.

Yeah - and something like %&HNJIK#['{IU)&(PU$&^*Y(O£HIL will be a weeny bit hard to remember... but I could store it in a password-protected file.

Yeah that would be hard to remember but you could put it in a password file. lol

Oops. Yeah well - who's gonna guess that password, then?

I think it's almost unguessable without the lower case characters but their are some smart software out there.

Funny that, eh? And the cleverest people are those that are smart enough to post in the thread called "Password Security".
